In 2012, I met a German traditional aikidoka at a seminar at the Bond Street Dojo
in NYC. When he saw the Nihon Goshin Aikido patches on my uniform, he rushed up
to me and asked, “Do you know Sensei Robert MacEwen?”

It turns out this German had attended a Nihon Goshin Aikido demonstration done by
Mr. MacEwen with a friend while he was visiting the US many years earlier. Upon
returning to Germany, he decided to take up the study of Aikido ~ but since there
were no NGA dojos in Germany, he took up traditional aikido instead.

A good demonstration goes a long way in growing the art.

Bringing Nihon Goshin Aikido into Other Martial Art Styles

Adding Nihon Goshin Aikido to a kick boxer’s talents would be a good thing....
